Kentucky Lottery Sales and Net Income Charge Ahead in First Six
Months of the Fiscal Year 2019

LOUISVILLE, Kentucky (January 15,
2019) -- Kentucky Lottery sales have closed the first half of the fiscal year
higher than any other period in the organizations history.

July-December sales for the lottery
came in at $544.2 million. Thats a full $36.5 million (7.2%) more than
the same period last year, which was the previous record-holder for the six
month sales period.

Net income in turn grew at an even
higher percentage. This was $147 million for the period, which is $16.5 million
(12.6%) more than what was generated in the same period last year.

According to Lottery President and
CEO Tom Delacenserie, the $1.5 billion Mega Millions jackpot run has been a
huge factor in the success.

Weve nearly sold as
many Mega Millions in the first six months of the fiscal year as we expected to
sell for the entire year, he said. Sales for the game in this period
were $42.1 million, a whopping $24.5 million (138.8%) increase.

Delacenserie also pointed to
stronger-than-anticipated scratch-off ticket sales. That category has $310.3
million in sales, up $15.5 million (5.3%) from the previous period last
year.

Sales of the lotterys $20
tickets in particularly have jumped, seeing a nearly 82% sales increased from
the previous year.

We have several new
initiatives were not quite ready to talk about on tap for the rest of the
fiscal year, so this trend of success looks to be the roadmap moving forward in
FY19, Delacenserie said.

He also predicted strong sales
should lead to the lotterys third straight year of sales in excess of $1
billion.

The Kentucky Lottery has earned over
$5.3 billion for the Commonwealth since 1989. KLC dividends pay for
college scholarships, grants and education programs.

German gambling
regulation has proven itself and is fit for the future

351 million in profits for the
players

295 million for the common
good

22 Lower Saxony became
millionaires

HANNOVER, Germany (January 11, 2019)
-- Lotto-Niedersachsen is satisfied with the course of the year
2018. Lower Saxony has spent around 726 million euros on stakes in state
lotteries and sports betting - an increase of 4.1% over the previous year. In
Lower Saxony, 22 players became millionaires. From the point of view of Axel
Holthaus and Sven Osthoff, the managing directors of Lotto Niedersachsen, the
current German gambling regulation - also in the fast-paced digital world - has
proven itself and is fit for the future.

Thus, both directors reject the
players who speak badly about German gambling regulation and demand extensive
liberalization in the German gambling market.

Politicians should not lightly
question well-regulated gambling regulation, which has also been largely
confirmed by the jurisprudence of recent years.

Wins: 22 new millionaires, 118
six-digit profits

Lotto Niedersachsen distributed a
total of around  351 million in profits to the participants in the 52
event weeks of 2018.

The Lower Saxony still prefers the
Lotto 6aus49, introduced in Lower Saxony in 1956. Nearly every second euro was
spent in 2018, a total of around  331 million.

But the lottery Eurojackpot is also
expanding its popularity with us Lower Saxony: over 18% of the stakes were
spent on the Europe-wide lottery.

One reason for this: the high
jackpots from the Euro Jackpot in 2018 particularly delighted all of Europe: in
total, the jackpot amount was  90 million in 13 weeks.

To the special luck for 11 Lower
Saxony players who became millionaires thanks to the Eurojackpot.

Last year, 22 game participants
achieved millions in profits with the products of Lotto Niedersachsen - thus
occupying Lower Saxony's third place in the millionaires ranking.

Eleven of the new millionaires won
the Europe-wide lottery Eurojackpot, seven with the classic Lotto 6aus49, two
with the environmental lottery Bingo !, one with the lottery GlücksSpirale
and one with the add-on lottery Spiel 77.

The last win was the highest in
2018, namely the sum of  8,377,777.00. A game participant from Diepholz
district was pleased about that.

A total of 118 high profits of at
least  100,000 were paid to players in Lower Saxony.

Responsibility for Lower
Saxony

As a company based in Lower Saxony,
Lotto Niedersachsen bears responsibility for the people in the country: for the
customers, for the employees and not least for the common good.

The added value remains almost
completely in our state.

In total, Lotto Niedersachsen
transferred around  295 million (previous year:  284 million) to
lottery and sports betting taxes, gambling duties and special-purpose revenues
to the state of Lower Saxony and the beneficiaries.

The premium supplier in Lower
Saxony

The ambition of Lotto Niedersachsen
continues to be to remain the premium provider of gambling in Lower Saxony.

This includes on the one hand the
demand for high-quality and competitive lottery products and on the other hand
the comprehensive compliance with the player protection.

Axel Holthaus and Sven Osthoff look
to the new year with zest for action: "Lotto Niedersachsen will continue to
focus on sustainable customer orientation in 2019 and align its activities with
customer needs. Our customers should enjoy our products."

the enthusiasm of our players and hard work of our retailers to guidance from
our Board of Directors and the dedication and talent of our Lottery employees,

LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas (January 11,
2019) --The Arkansas Scholarship Lottery (ASL) set another sales record last
week when scratch-off ticket sales reached $9.1 million  the highest
instant ticket sales week in a January since the lottery began in 2009. Coupled
with strong draw games sales, the first week of January ended with total sales
exceeding $11 million.

January is typically the
month we see our instant ticket sales increase and continue throughout the
Spring, said ASL Director Bishop Woosley. December was our
best December for instant ticket sales ever (more than $38.1 million), so
hopefully, this trend is an indicator that our instant ticket sales may be even
stronger this Spring than last.

Woosley attributes the recent sales
successes to great new games along with creative advertising, focused retail
execution and working as efficiently as possible, coupled with low gas prices
and a good economy.

Advertisement

So far this fiscal year, the ASL is
up more than $7 million in instant ticket sales and more than $18 million in
draw game sales versus budget.

Most importantly,
said Woosley, We are now up more than $7 million in proceeds versus
budget. That means more lottery scholarships for students in Arkansas if we can
maintain this increase for the rest of the fiscal year. We are in a phenomenal
position heading into the second half of the fiscal year.

The lottery finished fiscal year
2018 on June 30 with its best sales and revenue ever. Sales reached
$499,704,976, and revenue was $500,490,212. So far in fiscal year 2019
ASLs total sales have increased 4.6 percent.

Camelot to Launch Set For Life  A Brand New
Annuity Game Offering A Top Prize of £10,000 A Month for 30
Years

Launch of new game rounds
off new-look portfolio that offers something for everyone as the national
lottery enters its 25th birthday year

U.K. (January 11, 2019) -- Camelot
UK Lotteries Limited (Camelot) today announced details of Set
For Life  an exciting new draw-based game from The National Lottery
¬that will offer a top prize of £10,000 a month for 30 years. Tickets
for the new game will cost £1.50 per line and will go on sale on Friday
15 March. Draws will be held every Monday and Thursday, with the first draw
taking place on Monday 18 March*. Players will be able to buy tickets in any of
the The National Lotterys 45,000 retail outlets, as well as at
www.national-lottery.co.uk, and on both The National Lotterys iOS app and
more recently-launched Android version.

As well as delivering a game that is
both appealing to players and straightforward to play, Camelot has designed Set
For Life to offer National Lottery players something completely new. Players
will pick five main numbers from 1 to 47, and one Life Ball from 1
to 10, and have the chance to win fixed prizes ranging from the top prize of
£10,000 a month for 30 years to £5 for matching just two main
numbers.

Announcing the new game, Camelot CEO
Nigel Railton said: Were really pleased to be enhancing our range
of National Lottery draw-based games with the introduction of Set For Life.

Annuity games really appeal to a
growing number of people who like the idea of winning a prize paid out in
regular instalments over the long term, and are very successful in other
countries.

We think that Set For Life will be
just as popular here in the UK  it will offer National Lottery players
something completely new and meet a different set of consumer needs, especially
among younger people.

Most importantly, it rounds
off what is now a more appealing and balanced portfolio of games that offers
something for everyone  one of the key aims following our wide-ranging
strategic review.

Weve now got a mix of
compelling draw-based games that suits all tastes, play styles and pockets.

Thats vital for The National
Lotterys long-term health  and will help to ensure that, in the
years to come, we continue to deliver even more for our players and the
millions of people for whom National Lottery funding is so crucial.

Camelot has created a dedicated page
on The National Lottery website at www.national-lottery.co.uk/set-for-life that
sets out everything people need to know about how Set For Life will work and
the amazing prizes they could win.

Advertisement

It will also be raising awareness of
the new game in the coming weeks in a number of other ways  including
through advertising, in-store signs, posters and marketing materials.

Set For Life launches as The
National Lottery enters its 25th birthday year. Following further increases in
sales and returns to Good Causes over the first half of 2018/19, The National
Lottery has raised over £39 billion for Good Causes since launch 
far more than the original Government forecast of £1 billion per
year.

National Lottery funding has now
been awarded to more than 535,000 individual projects  an average of 190
lottery grants in every UK postcode district  helping to transform lives
and communities across the nation. Over the same period, The National Lottery
has awarded over £69 billion in prize money and created more than 5,100
millionaires or multi-millionaires.

To thank National Lottery players
for making these achievements possible and to celebrate the massive difference
that The National Lottery has made  and continues to make  to the
lives of people and communities throughout the whole of the UK, Camelot is
working closely with other members of The National Lottery family on a range of
plans in the run-up to the 25th anniversary of the very first draw on 19
November 1994.

Further details will be announced in
due course.

* Subject to final regulatory
approval.

** Match 5 + 1 and match 5 + 0
prizes are subject to capping in very rare circumstances. More details about
prize capping will be included in the Set For Life Game Procedures.

STRÄNGNÄS, Sweden (January
11, 2019) -- Spelinspektionen's annual survey* of Swedes' gambling habits,
conducted in cooperation with Novus, shows that two out of three Swedes (66%)
have played money over the past year, but the long-term trend points to a
decreasing proportion of players.

For example, the corresponding
figure in the 2013 survey was 76 percent. Just over every two players state
that they play at least once a month or more often.

Despite an increasing number of
players offering games on the internet and increased competition, many still
play at Swedish games on the internet. Svenska Spel's online games have
increased by 8 percentage points, almost 60 per cent say they play with
them.

It is the sixth consecutive year
that the Gaming Inspectorate commissioned Novus to carry out the survey aimed
at people who have been playing for money the past year.

Some other results in the 2018
survey:

82 percent think it is good that the gaming
companies are obliged to counteract problems with excessive gambling, but close
to one in three do not think the gaming companies take their responsibility for
gambling addiction.

Almost 60 percent of everyone puts a game budget if
possible, which is an increase compared to the previous survey.

48 per cent experience the gaming market as
entertaining, but only 12 per cent perceive the gaming market as sound.

Three percent state that at some point in the past
twelve months they have experienced that they have played too much.

Seven percent state that they have any close
relatives that they have experienced playing too much. In the age group 18-29
years, 14 percent indicate that they have a close relative who plays too
much.

The
Gaming Authority Intends to Give Extra Attention to Gambling Providers Offering
Sports Betting to Minors During the World Cup

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (June 11,
2018) -- De Kansspelautoriteit (The Gaming Authority) will pay special
attention before and during the World Cup to the online offering of sports
betting, and especially to participation by minors.

Advertisement

The regulator on the gaming market
calls for participation by minors in sports betting to be reported via a
special notification form on its website.

Participation in games of chance,
such as taking bets on sports competitions, is permitted from the age of 18.
Providers of games of chance are obliged to keep minors from participating.

In the Netherlands, only the Toto,
part of the Dutch Lottery, can offer bets on the results of sports
competitions.

The Law on games of chance states
that one license is issued for this. All other providers of (online) sports
betting may not offer games of chance to Dutch consumers.

They are obliged to ensure that the
Netherlands cannot participate. They can do this, for example, by applying
geo-blocking: it is not possible to participate with Dutch IP addresses.

No control possible

The Gaming Authority acts against
illegal gambling providers because there is no control on the fairness of the
game, the detection of gambling addiction and the participation of vulnerable
groups, such as minors.

Additional reasons to act against
illegal gambling providers are specific focus on Dutch consumers (for example
by using the Dutch language) and having young people participate.

Popular

Advertisement

Betting on the results of sports
competitions is popular and is growing fast. The Market Game 2016 of the Gaming
Authority shows that the market for legal sports betting in the Netherlands
grew by 34 percent in 2016 compared to 2015. It is generally known that extra
bets are made during major sports tournaments, such as the upcoming Football
World Cup.

Even if the Dutch national team does
not participate, that is the case. In the sports betting sector, football is by
far the most popular sport to bet on.

Notifications

The Gaming Authority announced
earlier this year in its Monitoring Agenda that preventing minors from
participating in games of chance is an important priority. Young people form a
vulnerable group; gambling providers must make every effort to prevent minors
from participating.

The Gaming Authority would like to
hear from parents, teachers, friends or other people involved whether they take
part in sports betting by minors. Minors can also make a report themselves.
Notifications can be made via the Minors Reporting Form.

The information is not used to fine
minors for their participation. The information is only used for dealing with
illegal providers.

STRÄNGNÄS, Sweden (January
9, 2019) -- When the new game law came into force at the end of the year, the
Gaming Inspectorate simultaneously launched Spelpaus.se, a central
self-shutdown register. This means that everyone who wants to have the
opportunity to switch off games from all gaming companies that hold a Swedish
license in one place.

Most of them turn off until
further notice

One week after the launch, the
authority can confirm that 10,000 people have registered at Spelpaus.se. The
vast majority have chosen to shut down until further notice, but there is the
possibility of turning off for a shorter limited period.

Game abuse is a widespread
social problem, so it is positive that so many find the new service and use it
as a tool to refrain from gaming and avoid targeted advertising from the gaming
companies, says Spelinspektionen's communications manager
Anders Sims.

There are several reasons for the
large influx to Spelpaus.se, for example, affecting the involvement of people
who are open with their gambling addiction.

We can see, not least in
social media, that these people welcome Spelpaus.se and push on for those who
have problems or are in the risk zone to block themselves from
games.

Some deficiencies in the
control

A requirement for the gaming
companies in the Swedish market to use their license is that they are connected
to Spelpaus.se. All companies must check against the registry before allowing
their customers to play.

During the first week, the authority
has unfortunately discovered shortcomings in this area. It is about license
holders who do not have an active connection to Spelpaus.se, which means that
suspended players have been able to play with these companies.

We have in the last few
days investigated what this is due to and have found that everything seems to
work well with the Gaming Inspectorate. But for some reason there are a handful
of gaming companies that do not meet the requirements set by the law,
says Anders Sims.

Spelinspektionen will send a letter
to the companies concerned where they are urged to quickly submit an
explanation of why closed customers have been able to play with them. The
authority also points out that the deficiencies are to be considered serious
and that measures will be taken if the problem is not resolved shortly.

Facts Spelpaus.se

Spelpaus.se is a central
self-shutdown register where you can turn off money from games. With that you
also get no direct marketing about games. The suspension applies to all
licensed gaming companies in Sweden with registered gaming.
